Module Description

In this third 8-week module, students have the opportunity to experience work with a third client group and to draw upon previous knowledge and experience to manage a small caseload, or take equivalent responsibility, under supervision. Professional judgments will be based upon sound theoretical knowledge, demonstrating the ability to integrate theoretical perspectives from previous learning into practice. Professional suitability and development are assessed using a pro forma.

Learning and Teaching Methods

The student will take an active role in the therapy process and must provide evidence of the ability to implement occupational therapy, which includes philosophy; principles and values.

A case study presentation or negotiated service topic provides an opportunity to demonstrate understanding, analysis and evaluation of client intervention or wider service-related issues.

Teaching skills must be demonstrated by the student whilst on placement. Evaluation of his/her effectiveness in therapy and some reflection on his/her work is required.
